    30 gallon hex reef...possible?

    +1 Also, depending on what types of corals and fish you plan to keep, you may not really need a sump or skimmer. FTR, I have none on my 29H reef. If...

    freakin' slow cycle!

    How old of a tank for SPS?

    What is the best food for corals?

    FWIW, corals don't really require target-feeding if you're feeding fish a quality food in the same tank. That said, it depends on the coral. All...

    How old of a tank for SPS?

    I would not recommend adding sps corals until you get a ro/di filter, or find a reliable outlet to buy ro/di, or at the very least, distilled water....

    Clean up crew solutions...
